IP 505 Topics in Contemporary Conflict Resolution


The primary goal of this course is to assist the student in understanding the constructs of contemporary conflict and match them to conflict resolution practices today. It looks at the way that conflict has changed in the second half of the Twentieth Century, away from interstate to more intrastate conflict, and examines how this has affected conflict resolution practices. First by examining the reason for this change and the change in response needed to prevent, manage and resolve these conflicts. The course will draw on current examples of conflict and identify topics often related to conflict. Topics included in this course are: Gender, identity, health, refugees and human rights.
